FRIDAY FEAST # 116

Feast in Turkey

Appetizer What is your favourite beverage ?

Karkade. It's a tea made out of dried Hibiscus flowers. It looks red and tastes a little sour. You can add sugar or grenadine juice. In summer you drink it cold out of the fridge and in winter very hot. People are drinking this only in Egypt, Senegal and Italy. I discovered it in Egypt. Everybody drinks Karkade. On the street terraces, as welcome drink in homes or hotels and even in shops you are offered a glass of Karkade. (See here )
As I couldn't find any over here, I brought back from Egypt 1 kg (that's really a lot and I can make 100 of Karkade tea with that) or I get it from my Senegalese friend who's family brings it over when they visit him.

If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why ?

About Me

I love painting, writing, travelling and photography. My favorit models are my four cats which I observe with fun and humor. I am German, married to an Italian and we live in Waterloo (15 km from Brussels) / Belgium since many years. Waterloo is a famous place to many tourists, because Napoleon lost his battle here against Wellington and other European countries.
